One click demo import option is undeniably an amazing feature a WordPress theme can have.

Imports all the data of the plugins used, widgets, Customizer settings & the front page.

By importing the theme demo content, users get an easy and quick way to customize the theme and build a stunning website using a WordPress theme. Users get complete demo website data with all the settings, Customizer options, plugins and widgets already working. Now, they can quickly customize the site with their own content.

Why is One-Click Demo Import Feature Important?

First of all, it’s true that the theme demo site is usually the best way a theme can work or look. Theme providers put their optimum efforts to make the demo site look appealing by making the best use of the provided features. It is because the demo site is a major selling point for WordPress themes as users generally pick a theme based on how the demo site looks.

But to their disappointment, users find a web page almost blank which looks nothing like the theme demo after activating the theme. It is quite frustrating, especially for the beginners who now have to start with looking for documentation file or theme tutorials. This is when the theme demo import option comes handy.

After you have complete demo site imported, you are away from starting with all the settings, installing plugins one by one, customizing, and Customizer options. Website making becomes as easy as replacing the demo content in the demo website with your own custom content. All this can be done with just a single click with the help of the one click demo import feature.

Hey, thanks for the guide. I have an issue however. After importing the demo and ‘live preview’ it, my preview page doesn’t have a slider working, i.e. all images and their captions stack on top of one another when they’re supposed to be sliding.

I already have content on my site, I just want to try the theme. What will happen if I run ThemeGrill Demo Importer? Will the demo content be mixed up with existing content? Will it replace it? Does it even make a sense to run the plug in? Or I’d be better get a manual somewhere and do it manually ( 🙂 – don’t want to)
